  It’s illegal everywhere in the world?

  Seems an odd thing to come together on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s good to stay informed but try not to let it impact your day to day mental health. Consider that we’ve been under threat of mass nuclear war for about 80+ years now and haven’t been in a full scale one yet.

  There’s little that you’re able to actually influence so as ignorant as it may sound, try to avoid worrying about it. If it happens, it happens, you won’t feel better for having worried about it and there isn’t much you could plan for anyway.

  Focus on the things and people that matter to you and take each day as it comes on the basis that nuclear war is not happening.

  I wouldn’t really call this a “report” when there aren’t any metrics in the reasoning other than price.

  Even in their own article, it mentions how support and updates vary by manufacturer so it’s kind of meaningless to compare iPhone to the whole Android ecosystem. You’d need to choose one or more manufacturer in order to make an apples to apples comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are completely right.

  I do also get why the run these commands is a thing, because it’s usually faster and also is distro / desktop environment agnostic.

  Why would someone want to write separate guides for Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon etc. when one or two commands will suffice? But on the flip side, my family and friends will see a scary looking command and immediately be put off.

  I feel it’s getting a lot better since more apps are just in the browser or electron apps, there’s way way less to actually configure for most end users. The type of people put off by commands generally won’t go digging through the settings anyway.

  I do wish there were a proper GUI for configuring GRUB though. Any that I’ve ever found seemed to fall out of date very quickly.

  Did you know that octopi has long been included in many dictionaries also?

  Language is only half etymology and half vibes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Buying the successful studios to obtain their IP and then sacking all the employees to cut costs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You call them steamed jams despite the fact they are obviously grilled

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow you’re right, didn’t realise that was explicit before.

  Feels pretty selfish of them to do that on lemmy.world

  BBC shows ads on some foreign services, but not in the UK

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Council housing when?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That entirely depends on where you live.

  Your statement that the vast majority of homes are owned by the residents is not true where I live.

  Blanket policies don’t work, governments need to implement regulation that recognises the nuance of different markets

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Council housing when?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t work if landlords just buy that too.

  Needs proper regulation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You guys have to end it⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a Brit, I still find it staggering that some places allow you to drive a manual without having learned how to. It’s two separate licences over here.

  Because the Firefox looking glass fiasco wasn’t close to the same level and they immediately responded to criticism on the issue.

  Meanwhile there is a pattern of behaviour like this from Brave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s really a lot of good value devices out there once you get past the barely functional underpowered cheapo range.

  Also though… you spent $250 on a phone just while waiting for your main phone to be repaired?

  I think it’s a combination of: The style of the curb and pavement. The warning signs on the fence. The telegraph pole. It’s an English speaking place The sky is grey

  Companies really don’t put much effort into making these readable or accessible.

  Many websites I’ve used it’s even a broken link, there’s nothing to read but I’m expected to agree anyway.

  The terms are usually extremely long and repetitive, they’re not designed to be actually read by people.

  In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?
